Ackbar Leader Bug?

Question: I've been running Rebels with Ackbar Leader for a long time now, long before Ackbar's leader rework brought them back to popularity. One thing I've noticed that I would swear was not happening before, certain toons no longer seem to proc the assist.

At first I thought maybe it had been stealth nerfed to be Rebel proc the assist, but that's not the case. Teebo stealth procs, any toon heal procs, Poggle's buff Offense Up procs.

I'm finding that any toon that has an ability that attempts to afflict a debuff will not proc; whether it's successful or not. For example: Tarkin's Offense Down won't call the assist, and the biggest bummer to me since I just brought him up to G9 and figured he'd be worth insertion into my squad...Sun Fac's taunt won't proc.

I'm figuring that the debuff is registering as an attack, but I am curious if that's working as intended or a design flaw. Anyone (official hopefully) able to comment on this?
  • Debuffs dont register as attack as they dont damage the enemy team. Ive also been struggling with this, sometimes when leia stealths ackbar/lando/hrs assists and sometimes not.
  • I did not think this had always been the case, but I admittedly don't use debuffers on my Rebel team often. After Sun Fact failed to proc I started playing with more and realized where the error lied.

    Tarkin is no stranger to being subbed in though. I'm certain he's procced in the past.

    I can see the argument for and against Debuff registering as an attack, but ultimately my feeling is it shouldn't count against the proc. I'd like to know if this is working as intended...and I appreciate your input. Good to know I'm not the only one who feels this is out of the ordinary.

    For the record on your specific post though, I've never NOT seen Leia's stealth proc another Rebel. It's one of the things that make putting her there first not a total waste of a turn and I love it.
